1 Less Talk more shooting Teaching Shooting Phases of Teaching Phase A: 1 on 0 Technical teaching Phase B: coach guides the defense Phase C: 1 on 1 active defense Phase D: use in game situation Coach: Exceptions for body types - Players with wide shoulders may bring their shooting foot slightly forward in order to align the shoulder over the knee. - Players with narrow shoulders can stay square more easily. - Tall skinny guys/girls can take a step further forward. Doate eye A players doate eye will have an impact on how the player sights the basket. The player may slightly turn the head to lead with the doate eye, a cross doate shooter (right handed, but left eye doate or vice versa) may have the ball more towards the left eye at release. Coaches need to be aware of these idiosyncrasies. They are not errors in the players shooting form. (*POE = Points of Emphasis) POE are what our coaches need to detect & correct During the drill detect errors that the athlete is making & correct them this is how they improve The most important factors for good shooting are: 1) Hand preparation 2) Bent legs and hinging slightly forward at the hips 3) Start and finish of every shot must be the same on balance If they are not doing it properly or omitting one of the key factors they are not feeling the movement. Renato Pasquali TIME DRILL/SKILL/POE POE 0-1 INTRODUCTION - Shooting Q: What is the purpose of a basketball game? A: To win Q: How do you win? A: Get more points than the other team Exactly the purpose to put the ball in the net that is why - Hands preparation (want the basketball) - 3 phases break down - (up- on in) or ( ) - Alignment (elbow knee foot) - Arm extension (until the ball touches the ring)

we are going to work on our shooting today. - Put the hand inside the ring (check your shot form ) 1-5 Set-up: Athletes on baseline w/out ball Have athletes: A. Walk and show their hands 1.

2 we are going to work on our shooting today. - Put the hand inside the ring (check your shot form ) 1-5 Set-up: Athletes on baseline w/out ball Have athletes: A. Walk and show their hands 1. Arm along the side of the body 2. raise forearm by bending elbow to 90 degrees 3. Dorsi-flexion of the hand so that the palm faces forward - Hand and arm preparation is key to great shooting B. Add Guide hand - Walk and show both hands: 1. Support arm comes up to 90 degrees, but hand pronates so the palm faces inward - Guide hand is in handshake position NOT high five - Coach may handshake Repeat 2 or more times half and back C. Add a ball & intro phase 1 Demo & Then athletes practice 1. Self-toss 2. Catch it in stance (practice 2 foot & ½ stops) 3. Ball in Phase 1 Phase 1 or up : Triple threat position - Why triple? - Pass, shoot or dribble without extra movement

3 *Detect & Correct* the athletes: - Stance: Player drops his/her hips - Shooting alignment makes sure knee is aligned with the ball of the foot. Elbow is in line with knee. Ball in front of the shoulder. - Hands: Shooting hand on the back with bent wrist and weak hand on the side D. Intro & Demo phase 2 (or Phase on ) 1. Self-toss 2. Catch it in stance (practice 2 foot & ½ stops) 3. Ball in Phase 1 4. Bring the ball up above the forehead & in front of the face. ** Athlete must be able to target the rim from underneath the ball** 5. Hips drop and legs are still down. (players will come out of stance) 6. Make sure the ball sits on fingers like the top of a table or a waiter carrying a tray. The elbow must be below the ball. - Eyes target rim UNDER the ball - Ball above & in front of forehead - Hips drop (don t come out of stance) Athletes now - Put phase 1 & 2 together - Ask them to pair the action with the word (ex: say one in phase 1 and say two when perforg phase 2) E. Demo putting all three phases together Phase 3 (or IN) - Finish shot 1. Arm extension 2. Open shooting hand with the fingers pointing in the direction of the ball 3. On your toes - Guide hand finishes in the high five position (coach can high five

4 4. Pause for the photo - Check the position of your arm & hand Form shooting: Phase 1, 2,3 is done at the beginning of practice it is slow deliberate practice *eventually athletes will make corrections on their own** F. At a Basket w/ ball Go through phase 1, 2, 3 (stop & take a photo at each phase meters away from the basket - 2. Self- toss the ball Breaking down the shot form Q: Do I stop at phase 1, 2 and 3 when game like shooting? A: No athletes want to make sure the ball goes through phase 2 but do not stop the ball there when practicing game like shooting - Debrief Ask Questions & let the athletes think! Don t simply talk at them - Which phase of shooting do we call triple threat? (A: Phase 1) - Stopping in phase 1, 2 & 3 means the athlete must be VERY close to the net & must be in a full squat in phase 2 - For younger athletes you may want to stay with the wall bc stopping in phase 2 & getting it 10 feet high is difficult (move them to the wall if form is being comprised for getting it in - Why do we call it triple & not double threat? (A: Can do three things: pass, dribble or shoot) - Why must the ball be above & in front of your forehead in phase 2? (A: Target the rim under the ball never lose sit of your target) - Why do you pause for a photo at the end of phase 3? (A: to self-correct your shot) - How can where the ball hits the rim or the rotation of the ball give you feedback on your shot? (A: it may indicate where you are making an error miss front rim need more legs and lift or releasing from phase 2 (not going through phase 2); miss to the left - follow through on shooting hand not pointing at the rim; no rotation on the ball no fingers) - What is the difference between deliberate shooting form like this & game like shooting? (A: you don t stop in phase 2 you go through phase 2)

5 Teaching Shooting - Continued (*POE = Points of Emphasis) POE are what our coaches need to detect & correct During the drill detect errors that the athlete is making & correct them this is how they improve The most important factors for good shooting are: 1) Hand preparation 2) Bent legs and hinging slightly forward at the hips 3) Start and finish of every shot must be the same on balance TIME DRILL/SKILL/POE POE 0-1 INTRODUCTION - Shooting Review Phases of Shooting from yesterday Important not to forget about proper form once we go into game like shooting - Hands preparation (want the basketball) - 3 phases break down - (up- on in) or ( ) - Alignment (elbow knee foot) - Arm extension (until the ball touches the ring) - Put the hand inside the ring (check your shot form ) 1-5 Phase A: Review Form Shooting at Basket A. Basket w/ ball B. Go through phase 1, 2, 3 (stop & take a photo at each phase meters away from the basket - 2. Self- toss the ball Breaking down the shot form - Stopping in phase 1, 2 & 3 means the athlete must be VERY close to the net & must be in a full squat in phase 2 - For younger athletes you may want to stay with the wall bc stopping in phase 2 & getting it 10 feet high is difficult (move them to the wall if form is being comprised for getting it in 6-10 Min One dribble shot Jump stop to shoot: A one foot jump

6 stop is preferred; however, if players are not strong enough they may stop in a two foot jump stop. When attacking from the right side with the non-doant hand, we must bring the right hand over to pick up the ball so that the hands are already in proper position on the ball. A. Everybody starts with the ball extended in the left hand on their left side with bent knees. (3 5 meters from hoop) B. Let the ball bounce on the floor, reach and catch it with two hands (the player is simulating catching a pass from the left), use a crossover step with the left foot and rip the ball for a right hand dribble. Pick up the ball and take a shot following the 3 phases. The players perform some repetitions on the right and then on the left side. When attacking from the left side going to the doant hand, we must try to pick up the ball with the shooting hand behind and under the ball as quickly as possible Two line shooting: A. One line on baseline and one line at the three-point line up top. B. Top player cuts and focuses on hand preparation and footwork to receive the pass and then must work on the 3 phases of shooting. C. The passer then cuts to receive the pass from top and works on the 3 phases of shooting as well. (UP-ON-IN or 1-2-3, ONE FOOT JUMPSTOP)

7 15-20 Dynamic Footwork to Shot: Coaching point: On every shooting drill, check and correct the players, reding them ON WHICH PHASE they have to pay attention too, in order to have good shot-form. A. Pass to the coach B. Run behind the coach, use outside foot push (stork stand footwork) C. Take a hand off- (player shoulder to coaches hip not allowing defense to recover) D. Attack rim with eyes on rim stop to shoot. - - How can where the ball hits the rim or the rotation of the ball give you feedback on your shot? (A: it may indicate where you are making an error miss front rim need more legs and lift or releasing from phase 2 (not going through phase 2); miss to the left - follow through on shooting hand not pointing at the rim; no rotation on the ball no fingers)
